This seems to be a black and white issue for many, always Yes or always No.
As with most thigns I feel the truth is somewhere in the middle.
It’s a spectrum
IMO
A biological man who never underwent puberty and never got the benefits of higher testosterone etc. should be allowed in women’s sports.
But, someone like Usain Bolt, who because of undergoing male puberty has bigger bones than he would have had if he didn’t, should never be allowed to compete in women’s sports.
Where we draw the line, I don’t know, but I don’t think it’s black or white.

It. Simply. Isn’t. A. Problem.
Professional womens sports aren’t dominated by trans women, and they never will be.
And no man would transition in order to dominate womens sports.
The entire debate is a straw-man for splitting women into “real” and “fake” ones, denying trans women the right to exist.

Good for her.
If it turns out that she has an unfair advantage, and the IPF, CPU and other powerlifting organisations feel like it’s damaging the sport, they can make a ruling on a case by case basis.
To ensure that the sport of powerlifting stays free from competitors with elevated testosterone levels (/s).
There is absolutely no reason to try and come up with a “solution” for all transgender people in all sports.
